Hi All
Wanting to go up a width or two on my std 15" Vx alloys. They currently have 205/65/15s.
Can any one say if 225/60/15s will fit safely on the rims?

i think the saying is 2 sizes up / 1 down

will have to stick too 65 section tyres though on 15 inch wheels

think your looking at 225 / 65 /15 max

thanks for the answer but why do i need to stick to 65 profile?
i was hoping to use 225 / 60 /15 as they are almost the same diameter.

diameter of the tyre will be out ( smaller)

it will make your speedo / ode meter reading wrong

15" tyres is 65
16" --"-- 55
17" --"-- 45 ect

oh i thought 60,65,75 etc was the height ratio or profile factor (eg % of width) and can be anything on an size if the wheel is design to take it? :-/
